Thanks Eberhard, 1/75 is a very difficult scale for this ship. If it was 1/100, PE would be ok, but not at 1/75. It would look like a bit simple. On the other side if it was 1/50 it would be much easier to make these parts. I did not realized this in the beginning. So I'am struggling as best as I can. -
Engine room house and funnel. Trying to build the funnel I was very lucky to find a plastic tube with exact diameter.

Thanks Keith, I used rapid epoxy glue for the roof parts (not for the plastic to plastic) and CA Gel for the side panels.

Thank you Eberhard. Roof is from tree seperate sheets glued on top of another. I only shaped the edges by sanding before joining.

Bridge deck is made of 1 mm plywood, 0,5 mm pear strips (top) and 1 mm pear strips (underside). Adjusted the bridge supports and installed brass tubes as bushings in the deck and in the handrail Some part of the stanchions have 2 rails and some part of them have 3 rails. I modified the stanchions because the 2 rails and 3 rails did not have the same height. 3 rail stanchions were higher. I sanded down the bulges at the bottom flash and made a new one. I also sanded down the bulges for the rails as they are too bold.

I made the portholes of brass tubes which fits exactly to the tubes at the hull. I filled them with epoxy and glued with Revel Contacta Clear.

That's great. Thank you very much. A big relief for me. This ambiguous question was a bother for me. 👍
